The rain in Spain, I'm told, falls mostly on the plain.

My dearest "R":

I'm afraid I feel compelled to correct you on that one. I believe, if I'm not mistaken, "the rain in Spain falls mainly in the plains."

Certainly we can and will accept 'mostly' as a good alternative, but I think you'll have to agree with me that 'mainly' just rhymes better.

So ... how much, um, fluid would fall during that rain?

Kent,

I'm shamed. Mostly, mainly... pah!

For the first, and hopefully last time in my life, I'm actually contemplating the amount of um, pig's fluid that might conceivably be mixed into the rain falling on the plains of Spain. How do these things happen?

Rob.

Hello "R"ob:

Hush now, my child. 'Tis God's will that we contemplate these truly meaningful questions of life.

Or then again, it could be drug and alcohol abuse, mild schizophrenia or the early onset of Alzheimer's.

Just kidding, of course!

BestWishes,
